How can you cycle through search results in the full page rather than sidebar on Jira Cloud?

[Jason Hahn]

Up until very recently, when doing a search or using a filter, you could click on a work item in the results and it would open in the full page. You could then use shortcut keys like 'j' and 'k' or click the Up/Down arrows to walk through each item one at a time. There was also a Back button to return to the search/filter results.

Now issues open in a sidebar and I can see no way to return to the old behavior. Has that been removed?

Instead, you can click the pop out button to open the issue in a new tab, but that doesn't allow you to move up and down the results list. You can also expand the size of the sidebar to half the page, but that is a much smaller work area than the full page. Finally, you can use shortcut keys like 'j' and 'k' to move up and down the list, but the results still take up half the page.

I've seen in a search for a solution there used to be a third button near the popout and close sidebar buttons that switched back to full page but that is not currently available on our system.

Hi @Jason Hahn 

Welcome to the community!

Atlassian has been progressively rolling out side panel previews across Jira Cloud — you can see the broader strategy in their Global Preview Panel announcement. The Issue Navigator behavior you're seeing is part of that shift, though there doesn't appear to be a standalone changelog entry for it.

Thanks for the link. I'm glad they're excited to announce the removal of a workflow that some users have gotten used to and find gives them greater productivity in many cases. ;)

If anybody sees a way to turn this new feature off, or even better if an option gets added (or restored) to allow the user to choose to skip the side panel on a case by case basis, I'd love to hear about it.

+1 Our team also noticed this had gone away and couldn't understand why.  Still can't understand why....

+1 I agree 100% - this new side panel behavior makes our triage process take longer. Whoever thought that this workflow would be better??? I can't understand it.
